Recently got back from the largest gun show in Kansas, Chisholm Trail gun show.
Picked this up
Ain't she a beauty. Folding stock Yugo, notice the flip up grenade sight that seems to be on all Yugo's. Now to just find a grenade/flare launcher... Paid $585 with tax. I've heard that the Yugo's are some of the best AKs you can buy. Came with the sling, Bulgarian bayonet, 1 20 round mag, and 2 box's of Wolf ammo. Brand new. Dealer said that he only put about 65 rounds through it to make sure it was working fine and to sight it in at 100 yards. I later picked up a 30 round Pro Mag, 10 rounds of tracer, and 10 rounds of AP ammo.
Specialty ammo is expensive. Is it just me or is the Wolf ammo going down in price? I remember always seeing the 20 round boxes going for $5 but at the show it seemed like all the tables that had them where selling them for $4 or $4..25. Also I noticed that it seems like all AKs are going up in price. I remember when you could find the WASR-10's for around $300. Now it seems your lucky if you find one for $400
I went to the show planning on either getting a Springfield XD in .45 or an AK. And I was looking for a folding AK preferably a polymer one, but that part didn't matter as I could always buy a polymer set later on. And when I saw that one and the price I was like sweeeet, and the price seemed pretty good because the Yugo's are usually pretty expensive. There was another table where a guy was selling some XDs for $470 and $515, depending on size, so it was a tough decision on what to get but I went for the AK because I figured I'd rather have a rifle for now. Plus I figure that if Obama becomes president, which seems to be a likely chance, there will be a price jump in guns, especially "assault rifles", and there is also a high chance that we will see some kind of anti-2A bill, which will more than likely target "assault rifles". So I'm pretty happy, can't wait to shoot it.
What are your thoughts on it? Any suggestions on a good polymer front grip and mags?
